Blended Blood
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

I want your blood inside my heart. I want
My blood inside your auricles, your
Enlarging ventricles. I want to haunt
Them all with scarlet love. I want love’s pure
Red cells, its purer white ones too. Along
With those I want our platelets to sweep
All threats of bleeding out. I want bloods’ strong
Protection. Blood from me I want, in deep,
Inside the chambers of your heart. I need
Our bloods mixed in together and to pulse
Around our bodies hot with passion’s speed
Enough to make our double hearts convulse.
I want the force of both our bloods combined
In chests as love and love mix reds aligned.
